Rachel Burke of Patturn Studios, based own Geelong, makes unique homemade lampshades made from decoupaged recycled material, such as sewing patterns, sheet music, maps etc. She has always been passionate about recycling and op shops, a passion we share. I love the recycled and surprise aspect of this type of craft.

TOBYhouse has recycled beach balls into lampshades! Great for a child's room!

Our fabulous Beach Ball Lampshades are made by hand using our pioneering treatment that renders real inflated beach balls rock hard on the inside, yet they still look soft and bouncy from the outside - even the blowhole remains visible!

About Me

Hi! I'm Em, creative and DIY craft lover, I studied Graphic Design and Multimedia at uni and have since used my creative skills to teach as an art teacher.
I love helping friends and family with their graphic design needs, from business cards and invitations to wedding stationary and CD covers. Recently married, I had great fun planning, creating and making everything for our wedding!
I'm passionate about recycling and using unexpected materials in craft, love patterns, fabrics, textiles, paper, recycling, graphic design, mark making, photography, film, retro, vintage and anything clever or different!
